Ohio Laws on Cuyahoga Falls Released Inmates

Ohio law sets the framework for released inmates records statewide. ORC Section 5120.21 requires the ODRC to maintain a record for every state prison inmate. The file has name, residence, sex, age, entry date, and discharge terms. The department can share the name, convictions, photo, supervision status, facility placements, and discipline history publicly.

Under ORC Section 2967.01, parole means release from prison under the Adult Parole Authority's supervision. Post-release control is a mandatory supervision period that follows the prison term. Both apply to Cuyahoga Falls released inmates who served state time. The ODRC search shows their status and supervision details.

Community control is another path. ORC Section 2929.15 lets judges order up to five years of local supervision instead of prison for felony offenders. A Summit County probation officer handles the case. Violating community control can send someone to prison. People under community control do not appear in the ODRC system.
